A nice touch, fair play to him

[ConnO'var]

Fantastic gesture. .
Thanks Rafa.

[Kharhaz]

A wonderful contribution. Lets hope that it is put to the best use and justice will be served.

[Keris]

It was an honour to have the man as our manager.
We're going to miss you Rafa. 

[Rush Job]

Would love to have him back one day. Italy is another manager merry go round so you never know if we have decent owners in a few years they can get him back.

There is a good chance our paths could cross again imo.

[supersub]

HOw many manager out there would have the class, dignity and integrity of Rafa.

Just want to say good luck to Rafa and you are a legend! He will always have a special place in all of us.

[jacdaniel]

Fair play to Rafa.  Great man!

[laza]

Class act from a class guy

Walk on Rafa

[anti-hero]

classy, and a first rate manager.

[roberto green]

First class Gentleman, but I and some on here knew that anyway so no surprise for me.

Down the line when we finally end up getting new owners (or we come back up from the coca cola league through administration deduction) he will return as are manager because I'm sure he still feels he has unfinished business to complete.

Rafa your place in Anfield folklore is secure and I for one don't blame you for the mess our club is in

[mart]

[stmichael]

[fivecups]

Former LFC manager Rafa Benitez donates “significant” amount to Liverpool’s Lily Cen

THE co-founder of Liverpool’s Lily Centre today admitted she was “overwhelmed” after receiving a “significant” donation from Rafa Benitez.

The former Liverpool FC boss, who on Thursday gave £96,000 to the Hillsborough Family Support Group, yesterday helped another charity he holds close to his heart.

Though co-founder Peggy O’Brien would not disclose the amount on the cheque Benitez wrote, she revealed it would go a long way to helping the day-to-day running of The Lily Centre – a breast cancer support group – for a considerable time.

Mrs O’Brien said: “It was an absolutely fantastic gesture and we are all over the moon – it was completely overwhelming.

“We have known Rafa and [his wife] Montse for a long time but we did not expect this at all. You just do not expect people to give you money like that.

“Rafa and Montse have been good to us in the past and they did things that people would not know about, such as when he gave us Fernando Torres’ first Liverpool shirt for a raffle, which raised £4,900.

“But this just came completely out of the blue. We know they are moving on because Rafa has changed jobs, but we will keep in contact with them.”
